Darwin | 49 comments Currently reading.. Oranges are Not the Only Fruit

Just picked it up for what the author says "Once you can talk about what troubles you, you are some way towards handling it." and "when you have found your voice, you can be heard."

Just re-read it after 25 or so years. Thoroughly enjoyed Edgar Wallace's style and pace."


I am reading his books as most of them are in public domain like The book of all power and The Green Rust and am loving them. Will be giving it a go??

message 509: by dely (new)

dely | 5485 comments I started reading a really difficult book: The Arctic Home in the Vedas by Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
I thought it was a kind of introduction to the Veda and their content and meaning. Instead this book, that has a lot of details (above all geological and astronomical ones) proves that the Aryans lived at the North Pole and then they moved to the Indian subcontinent and to northern Europe. In fact it seems that there are some points in common in the different mythologies.
I must start also an easy book, this one is so hard to get through!

Vaibhav | 1 comments Finished "The lowland" By Jhumpa Lahiri. Not impressed this time by Lahiri.
Going to read now :Be careful what you wish for"


message 511: by Anoop (new)

Anoop Pai B (anooppai) Currently reading Underworld as a part of my big read challenge. It took me 250 pages to get a hang of Delilo's narration.. :D


message 512: by Sharat (new)

Sharat Sachin (sharats) Read - The Codex by Douglas Preston
Reading - On Writing by Stephen King


message 513: by dely (new)

dely | 5485 comments I gave it up with The Arctic Home in the Vedas. It was difficult and full of details about astronomy and geology. It is and interesting book but boring because of the many repeated details.

Now I started two books:
The Wildings by Nilanjana Roy and
The Novel Cure: From Abandonment to Zestlessness: 751 Books to Cure What Ails You. This one is also funny and interesting. I decided to start this "novel cure" so I will read the recommended books for my diseases. It will be a new challenge and I do it just for fun but also to see if this cure really works.

I so want to read 'My Antonia' as well.. it is on my reading list for the next couple of months.. will await an update from you, once you finish it, Abhilasha :)


message 518: by Abhilasha (new)

Abhilasha Rajendran (readingwithabhi) Smitha- yes it was a lil disappointing. Felt kinda incomplete..as though I keep expecting something to happen
Apoorv- ya sure! It might be awhile though :)


message 519: by Madhavi (new)

Madhavi (madhavij) | 40 comments I finished:
1. Heat Rises

Still Reading: Trip-wire for Tiger by F.W.Champion.

Started:-
1. Frozen Heat

Suddenly the Nikki Heat series book#3 & Book#4 have become a page turner read. The plot is much better than the previous ones. The only problem for me was the extra unwanted descriptions.

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) | 1859 comments finished with the Matched Trilogy, my first experience in YA books. Found it ok, first one started well but the remaining two just did not match my expectations :)

Have started reading The Fall by Albert Camus and simply loving it. My first book by Camus and its wonderful.

Uday Kanth (udayk) Just finished The Cuckoo's Calling and now I'm stumped as to which genre to pick up next. My mind is veering towards The Maze Runner.

Anyone read it?

Oh, I wanted to read it


message 538: by Uday (new)

Uday Kanth (udayk) Maze Runner is definitely a good read! Anyone interested in dystopias will like it. The writing is not so great and so is the characterisation. Makes me realise how wonderful JKR is in that aspect. But the story is interesting and the narrative gripping


message 539: by Meetasha (last edited Apr 02, 2014 09:07AM) (new)

Meetasha Rathi (meetasharathi) Just Read- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It was on my to-read list since a long time and after watching a vlog adaptation I was determined to read it =)

message 542: by [deleted user] (new)

I am currently reading Mistborn....:))


message 543: by dely (new)

dely | 5485 comments I put on a hold The Novel Cure: From Abandonment to Zestlessness: 751 Books to Cure What Ails You because I want to read the books that are suggested for the diseases that start with the "A".
This will also be part of a new personal challenge: to read the books, from A to Z, that are recommended for my diseases.

I finished reading The Wildings by Nilanjana Roy and for me it was just an ok read. I think it's more a book for children because it has also some teachings.

I started re-reading Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype because I feel I need to read it again in this period. But I'm going on very slowly because I'm again very busy and because it is an important book so I want to read it slowly to be sure to catch all the important teachings of it.
